Echeveria derenbergii, the painted-lady, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, endemic to eastern Oaxaca in Mexico.

Description
Echeveria derenbergii is an evergreen perennial succulent, growing to 10 cm (4 in), with a dense basal rosette of pagoda-shaped, frosted, bristle-tipped, fleshy leaves. It bears racemes of bell-shaped yellow flowers with "painted" red tips in winter.
How it is grown
Echeveria derenbergii is cultivated as an ornamental plant for rock gardens and as a potted plant. Like other species of Echeveria, it produces a colony of small offsets which can be separated from the parent plant. In cooler temperate regions, it requires winter protection, as it does not tolerate temperatures below −7 °C (19 °F); but it may be placed outside in a sheltered spot during summer months. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
